Tested alongside Ch Les Ormes de Pez, the only similarity as far as I can workout, apart from the name, is that they’re from vineyards around the Pez hamlet in St Estèphe, being owned and made completely independently.

The most obvious difference was that this had much more silky fruit obvious just from the nose, (maybe due to its comparative youth?). However after time with the Ormes de Pez mellowing the initial stark difference between these two wines became much less marked. faultless but not standout.
